Ethanol is added to gasoline because the oxygen it contains improves gasoline's burning efficiency. Its combustion reaction is given below. CH3CH2OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g) ∆H = - 1236 kJ a) Is this an exothermic or endothermic reaction? b) If 15.3 grams of pure ethanol is completely converted to products, calculate how much heat is absorbed or released, in: (1) kJ and in (2) kcal c) If 42.7 g of water vapor is produced, how much heat, in kJ, is absorbed or released?

Start an single atom tab. observe the decay of polonium-211. after each decay, press the reset nucleus button to watch the process again. write a description of alpha decay for po-211

When a scientific theory has been tested and proved by the scientific community, it becomes a law

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
